Deserters portray a classic Australian quality earmarked by Luke Thomas' (also of The Pictures and The Ronson Hangup) intuitive writing techniques. The songs are rich with melody and a turn of phrase that reaches deep into the well of classic writers such as Neil Finn, Steve Kilbey and Grant Mclennan. The songs swell with a certain pride and endearing candour that comes from the bands effortless cool confidence. Devoid of studio trickery Pale Morning is a straight-up, organically produced album set to enamour devotees of classic pop and rock.
